The ironic thing about this song is how much Satanism is embedded into some of their other work, some off that exact album (The American version is 66:06 long)
This song shouldn't make you sick. I'm an agnostic, I just like the innocence of the children, it doesn't matter that they're talking about a God, I'm just bummed I didn't know about it until today. BoC captures the nostalgia of childhood so well, and the kinds of images that pop into my head when I listen to their brand of exerimental ambient, send me right back to the days where my innocence left me with such a wonder and an openness to the experiences of life, that's almost gone now.
All of you who are complaining about religion and trying to bring some kind of debate into it, shut the fuck up? just listen to the track, theres no need to bring "WELL GOD EXISTS/GOD DOES NOT EXIST" into it, and frankly im fucking tired of going to random youtubes hearing everyone argue like animals about religion. Religion isn't destroying humanity, people arguing about it are- if everyone just left everyone else alone and let them believe what they wanted to believe we'd be hunky dory.
Indoctrination ain't nice, teaching children to accept single religious point of view as the one single truth ain't nice, but religion, as well as myth, is a very important part of human mind.
@HikiLuoma you cannot get around indoctrination... when you go to school... you are being indoctrinated... stop being a hypocrite... on the issue of truth.. it isnt nice... the world sucks, people die, people are consumed by greed and kill each other to satisfy the urge to have the belongings of others. The rich oppress the poor... all of which... is not nice... but to misrepresent that is not truth
This is dark.. how many children brain washed by grown ups to believe in a mystical man who'll smash them if they don't believe? Hopefully one day relegion will be gone.
This song is simply the innocent reflections of children and their opinions about the nature of god and imo is one of the lest dark songs from Geogaddi. Brainwashing? Religion is part of human culture. All parents pass on cultural information to their children. It's called teaching. What is wrong with you?
@syrus3k Doing that will be a lot like getting rid of the children's belief in Santa Claus. Teaching them something that either is or just seems fictitious may not be nice and considering the aftermath, may just be plain horrible, but do you want to be the one to tell them at an age so young why things are the way they are in this world?
It's just the innocent reflections of children on how they see the world. You can't explain to a child any deep philosophical interpretation of the world, all cultures have a mythology to explain what they know as metaphor.Its sad that we live in a world with religions that cause so much misery, but if you can go beyond that, this is beautiful.
I think they only put this on the japanese cd because they knew all of the negative connotations westerners would have with this.
seems as if it SAVED the runtime of the japan edition of the album from the 66:06?
